The fight was marred by Italian referee Giuseppe Quartarone, who kept both boxers from fighting on the inside.

Many boxers, pundits and both the Sky Sports and Showtime broadcast team criticised the referee during and after the fight. After the fight, Joshua explained his game plan for the fight, "My strategy in there was kind of stick behind the jab.

The old saying is the right hand could take you around the block, but a good jab will take you around the world.

And that secured another championship belt. So I stuck behind the jab and I made sure anything that was coming back, I was switched on, I was focused and 12 rounds, baby!

I thought it was hard, right? A lot to work on. It was a good experience being here. Thank you all for the opportunity to fight in this big stadium.

No regrets, you know, take it on the chin. Come back stronger, more punches. But I would love to have another go.
